Recently, one of L'Azure's very own Sous Chefs - Antonio Sivers - was given the prestigious honour of being selected to join the national culinary team and represent Barbados at the 2014 Taste of the Caribbean competition, which took place at the Hyatt Regency in Miami, Florida from June 28 to July 2, 2014.

It’s been over a year since Jean Jacque has taken the helm as consulting chef at The Crane Restaurants and has since transformed and revamped the menus at D’Onofrio’s Trattoria and L’Azure and will soon head over to The Carriage House.

Imagine a celebrity showcase of culinary expertise with the beautiful Caribbean island of Barbados as its background, add to that great food, an excellent vintage and the best aged rum and you have the perfect package. The annual Food Wine and Rum festival (FWR) takes place right here in Barbados from November 16-19. This year’s event is slated to feature an even bigger celebrity contingent and a selection of international and Barbadian chefs including Food Network stars; Marcus Samuelsson, Aaron McCargo and Anne Burrell.
